Having been here a few years the stuff you are seeing about Colgan is all true both good and bad (was there any good?)
It has all been factual. If anyone wants a rundown on what its like here just shoot me a PM or any of the other CJC guys and we will be glad to give you the truth about our experiences. They will all vary greatly though whether you are talking to someone who has lived in base since day one, someone who upgraded in 10 months or someone that was hired at the end of the last wave and has two full years of reserve while commuting from the west coast.
If given the choice between most any other regional would I come here...no. With that being said there currently is no choice so it leaves you the option of riding out the storm or applying here to use this place for a few (literally) dollars and some time in the logbook and currency until the next wave happens.
Lets try to keep this as an informative thread before it gets closed (no, I wont close it but someone else likely will.) If you have Colgan questions good, bad or indifferent just ask it regarding current hiring and conditions and they can get answered truthfully.
